[c-nsp] Ports per ASIC distribution

Well, no, they connect to the 16 Gbps dual-rotating ring.

The '10G' port is only sort-of-10G, however. It connects to
the same type of ASIC, so it's really 8x1G bundled.

> Does this hold true of the 3750s as well?

Yes, it's basically the same hardware. The stacking ring just
isn't taken to the back of the chassis on the 3560.
